Today we took Amelia to a photographer for her 1 year birthday photo shoot and cake smash. We did the same thing for Teagan last year and we loved the photos. For Amelia we went to the same photographer (Amanda Saldarelli Photography) we used for Teagan. We also used Amanda for our holiday cards. We have been very happy with her photos so we were excited to see what she could do with Amelia.
Going into the photo shoot we had a feeling Amelia would be more challanging. She has a “slightly” more demanding personality than Teagan. I didn’t stay for much of the shoot. We first took some family shots with both girls and then I took Teagan away so Amelia could get some personal time to get her photos.
Teagan and I ended up at a Starbucks nearby. She was happy since she got a snowman cookie. I was happy since i got a cappuchino since i hadn’t had coffee at all that day till then. After a little one on one time with Teagan we headed back to see how Amelia and MC were fairing. I got back in time to see the cake smash. Amelia at first was super excited to see cake. That was until she touched it. Then it was like we poured nasty goo on her hands because she got very upset. Teagan on the other hand had a blast at her smash. So much so that we can proudly say Teagan’s smash photo (one of our personal favorate photo of the shoot) is hanging on Amanda’s studeo wall.
All is not lost however since the first teaser photos of Amelia from the shoot looked fantastic. We are patiently waiting for more.
The rest of the day was a nice day at home. The girls slept in the car on the ride home but then wouldn’t take regular naps afterward. They were tired by the time it was bedtime. MC & I were also pretty tired too. I am a huge fan of nap time and I think MC is too.
